Maui Police Department warns against scam calls with spoofed numbers demanding payment for fake legal actions.
Maui Police Department (MPD) warns residents about a scam involving spoofed phone calls. Scammers pretend to be MPD officers, threatening legal actions such as warrants or missed jury duties, and demand immediate payment via cryptocurrency, online payment apps, gift cards, or credit cards. The MPD never addresses warrants or legal matters over the phone, nor do they ask for payment. Report any such calls to the FBI and local police.
